Hello Angel Fund Family!

As we approach the end of another remarkable year, we are filled with hope and anticipation for the progress that lies ahead in the fight against ALS. The past year has been a testament to the unwavering dedication of our Angel Fund family, and as we embark on 2024, we are excited about the possibilities that await us in advancing ALS research and bringing us closer to a cure.

Your generosity has fueled ALS research, bringing us closer to breakthroughs that hold the promise of a brighter future for those affected by this disease. Thank you for being the driving force behind our mission to find a cure for ALS.

In 2023, the support from our dedicated supporters, volunteers, and partners propelled us forward in our mission to unravel the complexities of ALS. Through groundbreaking research initiatives, Dr. Robert Brown and his research team have made significant strides toward a better understanding of the disease and identifying potential avenues for treatment. Together, we continued to make strides in raising awareness, and funding vital ALS research.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who have played a role in our shared journey. Your commitment, compassion, and dedication make a profound difference and together, we are creating a future where ALS is no longer a threat.

As we welcome the new year, let us continue to Step Up to Cure ALS and provide hope for a cure. Thank you for standing with us on this journey. May 2024 be a year of progress, breakthroughs, and renewed hope for the ALS community.

Thank you for being an integral part of The Angel Fund family. Wishing you and your loved ones a holiday season filled with hope, love, and moments of joy.
